Keltia Command is a theatre command established by the SANE alliance as part of its global strategy to defend against the threat of Jingdaoese (later USSO) hegemony, facilitating the integration of allied units (primarily Shirerithian and Natopian) into a single integrated chain of command for operational matters.
By virtue of having the largest continental possessions on the Keltian continent the Keltia Command is controlled by the Natopian Defense Force. Established in 1646 AN, it's first mobilisation occurred in 1655 as the War of Lost Brothers became global in scale. Sometimes known as the Forgotten Command in contrast to better resourced counterparts in Apollonia, Benacia, Tapfer and Trans-Eura, it nonetheless imbued itself with the martial ethos of Normark, in whose lands it was established, and made a vital contribution to the emerging world war against Passio-Corum.
Operational Activity
Date | Formation | Subject | Summary |
---|---|---|---|
08.II.1656 | Musican Fleet | Bombardment of Blore Heath | The primary target of the attack was the city's commercial district, home of a crucial east Keltian brokerage, allowing for the plundering the shoreline and waterways around Blore Heath under the cover of the bombardment, the attack also served in part as a reprisal for the role played by the Jogi Regiment in raids on the Natopian settlements of Elijah's Rest. |
12.II.1656 | Normark Army Group | Committees of Defence, Elijah's Rest | Following escalating raids against civilian settlements on the eastern and southern frontiers of Elijah's Rest, the Elian Militia begins to organise committees of defence, to better coordinate the hitherto unorganised response of local vigilante groups to the violent attacks by members of the Stripping Path, seeking to make abductions for the varying purposes of sacrifice and indoctrination. |
12.IV.1656 | 2nd (Bombardment) Group (temp. deployment) | Ardclach Orbital Strike | NSS Damocles on temporary assignment from allied Space Command. |
24.IV.1656 | Black Angel Squadron | Anti-shipping sweep, Gulf of Jangsong | Strike package to (qty 1 Virgo-class scout ship, qty 2 Stealth fighter "Black Angel") engage and neutralise Palliscian-Haifan shipping transiting between Ardclach and Jangsong/Elijah's Rest. |
24.IV.1656 | Political Directorate | Counter-espionage, Elijah's Rest | Coordination of pre-dawn raids with Imperial Natopian Constabulary results in arrest of qty 9 USSO-aligned spies and qty 4 civil servants plus qty 1 militia officer suspected of corruption and collusion with a hostile foreign power. A further qty 12 suspects perished whilst resisting arrest. |
24.IV.1656 | 3rd (Support) Group | Anti-shipping sweep, Talenore | On temporary detachment from allied Space Command, qty 12 Virgo-class scout ships to conduct anti-shipping operations directed at Voorpost. Aim for complete eradication of Voorpost Detachment maritime assets and harbour air defences. |
24.IV.1656 | Area Defence Vexillation | Air defence operations, Talenore | Consistent with previous engagements, counter any radar contacts designated as unidentified or hostile on an approach to Talenore with maximum available force. Engage at optimum range with remaining Buk surface to air missiles once targeting solutions are acquired and deploy Trump autocannons for point defence of MoMA Station and harbour district. |
Sponsored Militias
Sponsored militias are paramilitary orces which exist outside of the direct chain of command, but which enjoy access to arms and equipment provided from the Sxiro-Natopian Production Matrix and support and training provided by military and PMC advisers.
Date | Group | Subject | Summary |
---|---|---|---|
21.IV.1656 | Tuktuvut Confederation | Raising of the banners, Elkheim | On this day the Tukudiggi, the assembly of the Tuktuvut clans, elected Jegerdatter as war-leader after receiving weapons, food and ESB-minted imitation Kalgarrands, from Keltia Command. Resentment had been mounting steadily as Haifans became more numerous along in the northern reaches of the eponymous strait. With raids affecting settlements along the eastern and southern frontiers of Elijah's Rest, these resentments had broken out into open conflict as the Tuktuvut began taking the side of Normarker vigilante groups engaged against the marauding devotees of the Stripping Path. |
